Romans 5:3-5
3 Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
Have you ever wondered how diamonds are made? Diamonds are precious materials made of carbon. Deep within the earth's crust, these minerals work their way up toward the earth's surface when gases and heat combine. Through phenomenal heat and pressure, diamonds are born. It's only after they are tested by fire that they become so beautiful.
God always puts us in tough situations. It's his way of testing is. We are his diamonds. God polishes us with his love, grace, and mercy. Hard times can make you grow. When you are tested by fire, your faith becomes stronger.
Whenever he puts us into hard situations it’s when he knows that we can get through it. We should be thankful for all these tests of faith because with each of them, we are made stronger. God doesn’t do it to see you suffer; he does it because he wants to see what you’ll do. We should always rely on him because he is our one true source.
When God looks at you he says, "You are rare. strong. valuable. loved. beautiful."
What is God making of you?
